PHILINFRANCE Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 When the next wicket falls, I would be tempted to bring in Jack Leach ahead of Archer and ask him to hang around while Pope or Foakes try and score some runs, Archer being more of a 'slogger'.

Fordy62 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’ve had enough of Jofra. He’s supposed to be able to bat a little. But time after time he’s ******* dog shit. I reckon he’s as bad as Glen McGrath was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 He only seems of use with the bat in T20. Just horrible stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Henry Moeran The Cricket Social The good news for Jofra is that it's probably missing leg and off. The bad news? It's hitting middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 So, as I mentioned earlier, here is hoping Jack can hold up his end while Ben Foakes scores a few runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 On another subject, I am just hearing that Ashwin has got his 400th wicket in just 77 Tests. I thought he had been around for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the clip the third umpire was shown at the very end was a smaller spike than before, like stopping it on a different frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Cook and Strauss said the that wicket is ‘almost impossible’ to play on and that the batsman needs ‘lots of luck’ - you reckon it’s shit batting?..............

I appreciate the pitch is a spinners delight but the batsmen need to take some responsibility. Some of them (Bairstow) do. But if Joe Root is getting 5 wickets on the second morning of a Test, the pitch isn't good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
